Nice haul there Brian! I hate that I had to miss the show. Maybe next year.
So how many Tyco boom tenders does that make now? I have one I'll part with if you're interested. I can hand it off to you at the next train show we happen to both attend.

I was there, too. Got an Alliance Helix Humper conversion for an Athearn SD40-2 , still in the package: $10.00.
Hey, if you post the video, I might be in it. Although, I don't remember seeing anybody carrying a video camera.

I don't have to work that weekend, so I'll probably try to go. I enjoy the occasional visit to Spencer Shops anyway.

That would have been cool. I thought about getting a custom made TYCO Forum t-shirt and wearing that, just to see who would recognize it.

Brian, That will be AWESOME....Sounds like they got a good track of thought going for the signage! Do you know if they come into the New England states?
